Upgrading

Preparing to Upgrade

Gateway upgrades from 7.14.x to 7.16.9
or higher must be incremental. Refer to the TT Eurex Gateway 7.16.9 Release
Notes before upgrading to this version.

Prior to upgrading, please review the following:

Ensure that you simultaneously upgrade both Eurex Gateways
in a redundant gateway pair to the same version.

To support current functionality, TT recommends upgrading
your X_TRADER® workstations to Version 7.9.2 or higher.

Warning

When upgrading to TT Eurex Gateway
7.15.0 or higher, you must manually update your SERVICE_A and SERVICE_B
sections using the master files as a reference. The Price Server
will not start if these sections are not updated in your existing
hostinfo.cfg file.

You can upgrade to a higher version of the Eurex Gateway by
running the installation package on the same machine.

Stopping Services

Prior to running the installation package, the user must manually
stop all TT Gateway services.

Failure to stop all services causes the
installer to log the following message in the installation logfile:

Error: Service
<ServiceName> failed to stop. Please shutdown all TT applications
and then re-launch this install.

If this message appears, you must manually stop the service(s)
and restart the Eurex Gateway setup.

Backing Up Audit Files

If upgrading intraday, you must backup and rename the Audit
File which was created that day. Audit Files are version specific.
Due to potential changes, TT strongly recommends that you backup
and rename the day’s Audit File. This allows the upgraded TT Gateway
to create a new version of the day’s Audit File and avoid any potential
errors.

Failure to begin a new file when upgrading the TT Gateway
results in an ‘Unknown record
type’ error message and potentially lost data.

TT strongly recommends that you backup and rename the
day’s Audit File if upgrading intraday.

Upgrade Considerations: Eurex T7

When upgrading to Eurex Gateway 7.16.9 or higher, consider the
following:

Only end-of-day upgrades are supported.

If upgrading from Eurex Gateway 7.14.x, you must do the
following:

Perform an intermediate upgrade to Eurex
Gateway 7.15.x-7.16.2.

Ensure that the Order Server completely initializes.

Perform the subsequent upgrade to Eurex Gateway 7.16.9.

GTC and GTDate orders will be preserved when upgrading
TT software, but will be deleted by the exchange when the corresponding
product (e.g., FESX) migrates from the old platform to the T7 platform.

Eurex Gateway 7.16.9 and higher displays a decimal place
on strike prices for options and strategy contracts (e.g., ODAX
Dec12 C62.50). Previous versions of the gateway did not display
the exercise price decimals sent by the exchange (e.g., ODAX Dec12
C6250). Refer to the Eurex
Gateway 7.16.9 Release Notes and CA145 https://www.tradingtechnologies.com/support/advisories/2012/12/CA145-12/-12 for
a complete list of impacts to your trading environment as a result
of this change.

After upgrading to 7.16.9, the following applications
must be restarted prior to the next trading sessions if they connect
to Eurex Gateways:

FIX Adapter

Algo Strategy Engine

Autospreader® Strategy Engine

Synthetic Strategy Engine

Trade Tracker

Back Office Bridge™

Note

TT recommends that you upgrade Eurex Gateways
to 7.16.9 after the close on Friday and prior to the start of the
Monday trading session, as the above-listed applications can be
easily restarted without impacting production trading.

After an upgrade to Eurex Gateway 7.16.9 or higher to support T7,
you need to make the following configuration changes:

To configure ETI and EMDI connectivity in your existing hostinfo.cfg file, add
the ETI ([OrderServerSession_1]) and EMDI ([priceserver]) sections using
the master file as a reference.

In your existing ttchron.ini file,
add the FIXML OTC Router section using the master file as a reference. Refer
to Working with Master Files.

Enable the Limit On Close (LOC) order type by setting
the AConfig.Core.Server.Exchange-Specific.[Gateway Flavor].GAL.Supported-Restriction-Codes parameter
to 98 via the AConfig
Utility. First time installations contain this setting by default.

For FIX Adapters that connect to Eurex Gateways, the Standard Time Bias and Daylight Saving Time Bias settings
in the FACT UTC Time Biases table
should be changed to 00:00:00 prior
to restarting FIX Adapter after the upgrade to Eurex Gateway 7.16.9.

Upgrading/Migrating Tasks

When upgrading, you must do the following:

Ensure that you configure ttchron.ini so that
all Order Servers startup before 7:30 AM CET (Frankfurt Time) to
prepare the Eurex Gateway for pre-open.

After the upgrade installation is complete, use the Master
Files to update the appropriate configuration files as listed in Working with Master Files.

After upgrading, set the Base Tick and Point Value fields
in Guardian to Exchange
Controlled.

After an upgrade to Eurex Gateway 7.16.9, rename the <Exchange_flavor>_mode_orders.tbl and <Exchange_flavor>_mode_orders.tbl.bak files
respectively in the <drive:>ttdatfiles directory.

After
an upgrade to 7.16.9, the ETI Order Server will remove these files prior
to startup. In order to preserve the old files for any reason (e.g.,
GTC orders are still working at the exchange), you need to rename
these files prior to starting the ETI Order Server.

Upgrading your TT Gateway

To Upgrade the TT Gateway

Run the Eurex Gateway setup on the
same machine.

The Confirm Major Upgrade Screen appears.

Select Yes to
continue with the upgrade.

The License Agreement dialog
box displays.

Read the End User License Agreement.

To accept the license agreement and continue
with the installation, select the box next to I accept the terms in the license
agreement and click Next.

Select Finish to exit the install. You can update
your existing configuration files as described in Working with Master Files.

Working with Master Files

The TT Eurex Gateway Version installs
with three hostinfo.cfg master files.

Example

CFTC-HostInfo.cfg_master

EquityOptions-HostInfo.cfg_master

EurexNoEquityOptions-HostInfo.cfg_master

To help accurately update your configuration files during
upgrades, Eurex Gateways install with the following templateMaster files located
in the <root drive>:ttExchange-Flavor folder
(e.g., C:ttEurex-A).

The master files contain updated settings and parameters for
the upgraded version of the TT Gateway. When upgrading, the Eurex Gateway retains
your previous configuration settings. After installing, you can
update your configuration file by copying the relevant changes from
the Master file to your existing configuration file. Refer to the
following procedure.

To update your existing configuration
files by using the Master Files as reference:

Open both the existing configuration
file and the related Master File.

Copy changes from the Master File and paste into
the relevant sections of the original configuration file.

Make the necessary configuration changes to the
updated file.

Save your changes and close both files.

Verify Guardian Product Table Settings

The exchange controls certain parameters in the product table,
so these parameters should not be placed under administrator control.
You can use the override function on the Guardian product Table
to display the Setup Product Table Items dialog box and review these
settings.

Customers with an MPF environment must ensure that Base Tick, Currency, Point
Value, Price Format, Round Lot, and Tick Table are listed in the Exchange column
for all MPF price servers and mapped gateways.

To Verify Guardian Product Table
Settings:

Open Guardian

Click File and
select Admin Login to
login as an administrator.

Click Admin and select Product Table Setup.

In the Exchange list,
click the drop-down menu icon and select a Eurex Gateway.

Click Override.

In the Setup Product Table Items dialog
box that is displayed, verify the following:

Ensure
that Base Tick, Currency, Point Value,Price Format, Round Lot, and Tick
Table are in the Exchange column.

If any items need to be moved to the Exchange
column, select the item and click the arrow key. Click OK.
